Dental Monitoring, Is It The Future Of Orthodontics? | Orthodontics In Interview | PhILIPPE SALAH
“The purpose of Dental Monitoring isn’t to disconnect you from your patient, it’s to make sure you see them at the right moment for the right reason.”
“Fix problems early and you don’t have problems. If you intercept an issue straight away, you can often avoid side effects altogether.”
“If you don’t change your protocol, DM won’t reduce appointments, you do. The technology empowers smarter scheduling, not magic.”
“AI isn’t replacing orthodontists. It’s replicating their eyes, helping you catch what you’d want to see, every single week.”
In this episode, I’m joined by Philippe Salah, CEO and founder of DentalMonitoring. We explore the evolution of AI-based remote monitoring in orthodontics, how it aims to change the way we communicate with patients, provide data of our practice but also where the evidence remains mixed. Philippe addresses questions on reliability, patient compliance, and the impact on rapport when monitoring replaces in-person visits. We discuss the real-world challenges of cost, protocol adaptation and workflow change, as well as the future role of AI, sustainability, and data-driven insight in clinical practice.
